The rhodium-assisted decomposition of diazoacetylacetic esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408011311

Diazoketones derived from alkoxymalonic acid undergo dirhodium tetraacetate-catalyzed decomposition yielding 4,5-dialkoxy-3(2H)- furanones, while those derived from monoesters of dimethylmalonic acid furnish 2,5-oxidocyclohexanones.
